    MacBook - Yellowing keypad AGAIN?

    I know you probably don't want to hear about buying something else to take care of a problem that shouldn't be yours but there are companies that sell wrist rest covers. www.shieldzone.com direct link: http://www.shieldzone.com/item_description/APBK13WR.html This will just cover the...

    How do I hook up this Amp/Receiver to my PC ?

    That receiver doesn't have a digital input so you'd have to use one of these: http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10218&cs_id=1021804&p_id=665&seq=1&format=2 out of that green port to get stereo (2 channels) out of the receiver. If you want more channels you'll have...

    Canalphones and isolation?

    If I moisten the bi flanges (or tri flanges) of my er-6is and fit them nicely up in the ear canal getting a good seal I really can't hear anything but music. I usually reinsert them a few minutes after the initial insertion to get them sealed well rather than wetting them first.

    Best Headphones for around $100?

    5.1 headphones have been considered the snake oil of headphones. You'd have to ask someone who has a set of 5.1 and a set of stereo headphones around the same value to back that up. The Audio Technicas don't require an amp, that is a nice feature of them. They will sound better with an amp but...

    Best Headphones for around $100?

    Do a search on this forum for 5.1 headphones and you'll turn up mixed opinions. The general opinion is that 5.1 headphones are not worth your time/money. You can get a much better set of headphones for that budget. I have the Audio Technica ATH-a900's so I believe I can vouch for the sound...

    Frikkin' Headphones

    The a900's get a little warm but I don't feel any pressure from the pads on top. I'm wearing them right now and I don't even have sound going through them, I just wear them to drown out fan noise sometimes :)

    Me Headphones Died

    I would not recommend Grados for gaming at all. Audio Technica ATH a500s are decent option in that price range for gaming. I (and quite a few other people on this board) have the a900's and they are great for gaming/music/movies. Search this board you'll get plenty of results for gaming +...

    Ipod headphones

    I would look in to IEMs (In Ear Monitors) the $70 range is perfect for an introductory set. Research: shure e2c (AKA e2g, e2g-n) etymotic er-6i ultimate ears super.fi 3 V-Moda Vibe (not entirely sealed) All are $70 and if used correctly will save your hearing. Ear buds are great for blowing...

    5.1 worth the trouble over Stereo?

    Technicalities aside, why not test each of your theories by playing a game/movie and finding out what works best for your speakers/ears/drivers/receivers/soundcards/earwax. I don't think anyone should follow a spec when they can clearly hear sounds coming from somewhere they shouldn't be coming...

    Washing LCD's?

    You should be fine if you've only done it once. Repeatedly using isopropanol and/or ethanol will deteriorate the plastic and make it turn yellow and brittle. Don't even think about using Windex. If you have some really bad build up I would recommend klearscreen http://www.klearscreen.com/ ...

    Alienware® Ozma 7™ Headphones

    http://maximumpc.com/2006/02/alienware_ozma.html Found that with a quick google search. Ultrasone is a good headphone company so it's good that alienware is using a reputable company. I think the only way this could benefit anyone though is if you get a decent deal on the headphones after you...
